Former Padres owner John Moores is once again getting involved in city politics and stadium building. He built Petco Park while trudging through lawsuits and political scandal. He was never the same afterward. His leadership within the Padres organization was non-existent following the park opening, his subsequent divorce and attempted sale of the Padres led us into the dark times where we've been ever since. When he finally left town he took $200 million of Fox Sports San Diego money with him. He's done a lot of good things for San Diego: the ballpark, his cancer center, his donations to local universities but it's hard to say how history will view him.
